Today we have a German Vs Soviet Starter Set Battle Report for you using the new Leopard book for Team Yankee by Battlefront. After all of these chats about background we wanted to get stuck into some fighting!

Okay, I’m still watching this . . . but ARGGH! These choppers are meant to kill tanks. Justin! Shoot your Hinds at the TANKS. The reason these to-hot rolls are so tough (correctly so) against enemy aircraft is they’re not really designed to fight enemy aircraft. An AT-9 against a Leopard II is a good kill, and now you have 4 Leopards vs. 9 T-72s, better odds.

Been waiting all week for this video.. Gotta do all the evening chores before I can settle down to watch this tonight with a nice cuppa tea… Excellent.. Ps this week has got my team yankee mojo all fired up…

@benc – Well, I flew 4300 miles to play Team Yankee in the boot camp. If I get across that way again for Operation Zeus or some other BoW event, who knows? My Leopards might have to crack open some 120mm smoothbores . . . (once they get here and I build them, that is).

What has struck me is how ‘fast’ this game is compared to FoW. Firstly how fast the tanks are (how they can move and shoot at full rate), how hard they hit, how fast the helicopters are. I can’t see too many static gun lines in this game!

Hmm, with unlimited movement of the Hinds, as Oriskany said above, fly all the way to the edge of the board, possibly behind the fuel/water tanks and shoot the tanks in the rear. Especially the command tank. Now the smaller German copters which couldn’t move and shoot, would have a poorer time doing that. Do the Hinds, thinking about the one in the Rambo movie, have the ability to carry napalm?
